| Maximum trailer weight (GVWR) | 3,995 lb. |
|---|---|
| Typical loaded tongue weight (10–15%) | 400–600 lb. |
| Practical tow-rating target | 4,500+ lb. |
| Dry hitch weight | 390 lb. |
| Recommended equipment | Electric brake controller, 7-way connection, weight-distribution hitch with sway control |
What to check before towing
Before towing, check your tow vehicle’s maximum tow rating alongside its available payload capacity. Ensure your vehicle can manage the 390 lb. dry hitch weight plus cargo and passengers inside the tow vehicle. See our How to Match a Tow Vehicle guide for the full checklist.
Best practical guidance
Always calculate your towing limits using the 3,995 lb. GVWR rather than the 3,506 lb. shipped UVW. Loading water, propane, and supplies will quickly account for the trailer’s weight.
Towing guidance is general information. Confirm with your vehicle’s owner’s manual, door-jamb labels and a Christie’s RV sales consultant.
